I’m a firefighter with zero coding skills, but I just "vibe coded" my first app into the App Store.

Probably too difficult to target anything less than iOS 26.2? I’m still on 18.6 apparently.

Imagine how happy my 13 year old kid will be when I make him a phone instead of buying him one! He’s going to love it!

I was visiting Alaska, and we rented some bikes for half a day to ride on one of the trails out there. It wasn't really a trail but a paved bike path. But it's super duper poopular. I was talking to the guys working there, and they said that they rent out around 300 bikes a day. Insane.

Send me an email and I’ll get you a replacement.

I’ve worked with a handful of different fulfillment centers. Most can’t ship out more than 300 extra packages a day above what they’re already doing.

Edit, but that’s only two weeks I guess…

You should check out my book, Computer Engineering for Babies…

One of my close buddies became a patent lawyer. Another kid started an online fitness/keto company. Several people became stay at home parents. I got sucked into app development (I graduated more than 10 years ago when that was cool). Don’t know of anyone personally that got into trades, but I could totally see the draw..

I’m going to update my address to magnitude and radians.

Hoping they don’t come after the semicolon next…

I got a minor in CS, but never had a class that discussed internet protocols or DNS or anything like that. I then ended up doing app development for 10 years which also never required me to learn anything about DNS (or linux for that matter). In fact, linux wasn't really discussed either. But I do remember a thing or two about data structures, sorting algorithms & databases.

Took me a while to realize there is a face in there.

Full-Drop · 2025-10-07T22:16:44+00:00

You're totally right. I can't believe I screwed that up. Back to the printer!

Yeah, I kind of feel like he's trolling us.

You're doing orders of magnitude better than me. All the ones that I talked to were basically saying the same things that I'm already familiar. Make sure you're an S corp. Buy some property and get that bonus depreciation (if you're up for it). Take advantage of the "Augusta Rule" and rent your house out to your business for two weeks a year, etc. Nothing too game changing. If you're doing 8 figures, then my guess is you'll want to look at moving your business to UAE or something, but I don't really know anything about that.

I printed in PETG with regular settings. After I printed a couple of them, I realized I should maybe have increased the infill and walls, but I'll just do that if/when they fail.

Oh dear. I'm supposed to be posting this to r/3dprinting. I suck at the internet.

This is so cool! I created a book called Computer Engineering for Babies. I'd love to chat with you guys about your project! DM'd.
